THE new program of shorter hours,

in a statement no retailer could stag
ger employe hours, enforce rest pe
riods or shorten the hours of atore
operation without defeating the pur

His emphatic assertion Immediately
took place among the most svgnin

courses for getting around the codes
and yet displaying the blue eagle.
Inquiries on this point have in

They were-.
. Walter J. Jones, ex-mayor of Rogue
River, "generalissimo" of the ballot
thefts, sentenced to "not to exceed
four years."
J. Arthur La Dleu, former business
manager for the L. A. Banks news
paper, sentenced to "not to exceed
four years."
Wesley McKttrlck, "captain of the
Banks' guards." who plead guilty to
ballot theft participation, sentenced
to one year. McKltrlck's previous
record prevented his parole. The state

for his mistakes and undoubtedly
gave information that prevented
wholesale bloodshed In Jackson
county."

prison for admitted ballot theft, was

sent sufficient and Justifiable se
curity. Instructions have been given that
tho $7500 bonds offered must be ac
companied by an abstract of the
property, If the bonds are based on
property security, and free from all
encumbrances of any nature what
soever, and double the amount of the
bonds.
The court ruled that all future
bonds be gilt-edged in all respects.

SET AT 6 P J, BY
Various Groups Will Decide
On Best Time for Opening
New Hours Effective.
Thursday, Is Announced
A meeting of retail merchants, with
most retail trades represented, was
held at the city halt yesterday after
noon for the purpose of discussing
opening and closing hours with John
Moffatt, chairman of the retail com
mittee of the chamber of commerce
presiding.
Although last week the hours of
eight to five were set for the retail
establishments of Medford. It waa
felt by many that this schedule
should be modified due to the fact
that the grocers have announced a
schedule of eight to six on week
days and eight to eight on Saturdays.
Under the provisions of the retail
code of the national recovery act re
tall grocers are permitted to operate
their stores 83 'hours minimum with
a 48 hour week for employees, while
the remainder of the retail stores
have a 62 hour week minimum with
& 40 hour week for employees.
Difficulty Arises
It la believed by the majority of
retail merchants that uniform hours
for all stores would be very com
mendable but considerable difficulty
was encountered at the meeting in
bringing these desired results about,
The hardware men and others who
cater to the farmer extensively would
prefer earlier opening and earlier
closing hours while other stores who
do little business In the morning
prefer the evening trade.
Considerable , discussion was held
by those attending and It waa unani
mously decided to close the stores at
8:00 p. m. from Monday to Friday
Inclusive and 8:00 p, m. on Saturday.
As far as opening hours were con
cerned It was decided that the vari
ous groups such as barbers, hardware
ready-to-wear, men's shops, depart
ment stores, etc., each hold separate
meetings and determine their own
opening and closing hours. In this
way, it la believed that hours will be
established for all stores which will
be entirely suitable to each group.
Fear Confusion
It may be that a certain amount
of confusion will be occasioned the
shopping public if too many differ
ent hours are established but It Is
expected that 4he majority will en
deavor to conform with the 8:00
o'clock closing by readjusting their
opening hours In order to close at
this hour and at the same time abide
by the store hours as laid down by
the national recovery administration.
The consensus at the meeting
seemed to be that a majority of the
retail establishments are opposed to
Saturday night opening and with the
various groups making their arrange
ments, It Is possible that some stores
may stay open while others will re
main closed.
In the meanwhile, however, com
mencing tomorrow (Thursday) stores
will adopt the 6:00 o'clock closing
during the week with the exception
of Saturday when the 8:00 o'clock
closing will prevail, but stores wish
ing to close earlier will do so. As the
various groups arrange their hours
the public will be notified through
the newspapers, It was announced by
the chamber of commerce this morn
ing. Gordon L. Schermerhorn, former
sheriff, sentenced to "not to exceed
three years In state prison," upon
conviction of ballot theft complicity,
waa at liberty on bonds today, in the
sum of S7600, signed by Jens Jensen,
merchant, and Thomas L. Taylor,
farmer. They were on Schermer
horn original bonds.
Notice of appeal to the state su
preme court was formally filed by
Schermerhorn, through his attorney,
Frank J. Newman.
An appeal to the state supreme
court requires from 90 days to a
year, depending on the importance
of the case and the supreme court
docket.

WASHINGTON. Ail. 9. The beat
ecenomy Joke of the summer season Is
the one about the farm boys who fell
among city slickers.
The administration agricultural re
liefers needed about fifty million dol
lars to finance cotton operations.
They wanted it for 80 to 90 days.
They went to the R. F. O. but rouna
they would have to pay 4 per cent.
That' was too high, so they went
shopping in wall street. '
There they fell among bankers.
Two banks were particularly nice
to them, agreeing It was outrageous
to charge 4 per cent for 80-day pa
per. They could not swing fifty mil
lions, bub offered around thirty mil
lions at a little more than half the
Interest demanded by the R. P. G.
Some say the rate was 3 per cent,
(The exact figures are hard to get
because no one cares to talk very
much about It now.) At any rate, the
deal waa made on approximately that
basis.
The farm boys felt rather proud
They prepared publicity claiming a
savings around S50000 In interest,
The publicity waa never lasued. The
treasury heard about It first.
The treasury has been getting all
the short term money It wants at
one-quarter of one per cent. They
have not paid more than one-hall of
one per cent in ages.
The inner tumult was well con
cc riled. A well-meant economy turn
ed out to be an expensive bargain
Treasury officials are inclined tc
blame one man In the agriculture de-

Lane County Circuit Judge
Leaves After Clearing
Cases With Admonition
For Prompt Agitation Ban
Circuit Judge George F. Sklpworth,
who since May 1, with a 10 days' In
terlude, engaged in presiding at the
Banks murder trial, and the five bal
lot theft cases, which started June
8, left this morning for Eugene.
The parting admonition of Judge
Sklpworth was to 'forget the agita
tion." The court stated the prose
cution had demonstrated that "law
and order has not broken down in
Jackson county. In the future there
should be prompt and summary ac
tlon for liw violators," said Judge
Sklpworth. "If anybody gets on the
courthouse steps and advocates revo
lution, arrest him on the spot. The
need of Jackson county from now on
is prompt and summary law enforce
ment for law violators." .
Banks Is Blamed.
Judge Sklpworth, in his discussion,
placed the blame for the Jackson
county turmoil squarely on the "
shoulders of L. A. Banks, snd the
editorials written by him.
In the Conners esse, the court said:
"Now then, there is no doubt in
the world but what Jean Conners
helped steal the ballots. He said he
helped steal them. He went in with
young sexton and threw these bal
lots out the window. He sat on the
witness stand and said so In all of
the cases. Now then the orfloers
give the boy a bad reputation not
that he has committed crime, but
they claim he advocated force snd
that he has advocated violations of
law-
Editorials Bred Crime.
"Now I had a long talk with this
boy this morning, in the presence of
Mr. Kelly. He had been reading
these editorials written by Banks. ..
and THERE IS THE VICE OF THE
WHOLE BUSINESS. That all goes
back to that Medford Dally News,
and there la the whole trouble in
this county. If it hadn't been for
that continuous publication I doubt
if I would have been here today, or
any of these people would have ever
been brought before the bar.
"Now he (Conners) became Imbued
with the vicious doctrine advocated
by Banks through the Dally News,
who conceived the idea that he was
a reformer and that all law was
wrong. ,
Advocated Strife.
"No douDt about that that was
his attitude, and there I no ques
tion about it, and he advocated strife
and he advocated trouble, and this
Good Government Congress waa or
ganized and young Conners was the
vice-president and parliamentarian of
the Good Government Congress If
they had any rules of parliament in
there rules of order I don't know
whether they did or not I doubt It.
At any rate, he was one of the ac
tive members.
"Now during all of these trials he
has been aligned with the defense,
I mean people who were in sympathy
with the defense. He has been In
conference with them. I have seen
him myself in conference with them
around In different places, and he
aays that he is Involved.
